Christmas Recap

It is OVER. That's right, over. Time to put away the stockings, take down the trees, and wrap the ornaments. Christmas has come and it has gone.

Let me recap our Christmas!

Christmas Eve was our taCkY JinGle MiNgLE! We had alot of fun! We ate dinner, the kids opened presents youngest-oldest (a new thing this year so we could see what all they got!) then the adults played Dirty Santa! I walked away with a Zebra Snuggie and some super cute earrings! Todd won an Emergency Car Kit, New Tape Measure, and a bag of M&M's!

Madyson got barbies, a barbie house, barbie furniture, books, pajamas, and a new devotional bible.

(emma's first Christmas as a tween= makeup, coach purse, jewelry, fun stuff)

(madyson's barbie furniture)

(ellie with Zhu Zhu pets!)

Aubrie Kate got an Elmo, a baby, Mr. Potato Head set, pajamas, books, tinkerbell doll, and a teaset!

*ellie, madyson, toby, aubrie and emma*

We cleaned up, everyone left, and we got ready for Santa

Madyson & Todd made cookies and left them out! We all went to bed and when we woke up we found that Santa had made a stop! He left our presents in monogrammed Santa Sacks! They were very cute! Each girl got a "big gift" plus their other little happies. Madyson got her Barbie bike with a bell! She is very excited about it! In her sack was alot of movies, barbies, and some pj's!

(these are adorable bags and they keep "Santa" to a minimum!)

Aubrie Kate's "big gift" was a high chair for her baby doll! in her Sack was some movies, dress up stuff, books, and pj's!

(notice her high heel shoes!)




Madyson's loot

Santa left a stocking for us grown ups too! I got new house slippers (that match my snuggie!) some new lip gloss, candy, and a holder for my blackberry!

(santa's mess he left. Tracks from the fireplace, leaves..etc)

Todd got a shoeshine kit (he loves to shine his shoes!), candy, Blackberry covers, cases, and car chargers!

We played for a while then we got up and went to Todd's parents! There we opened some more gifts! I got a leopard snuggie here, new rain boots, some money, and floor mats for my new car!

Todd got new cologne (it smells SO good!), some money, and a home depot gift card!

Madyson got alot of cute new clothes (which she loves!), books, movies, and a leapster!

Aubrie Kate got tons of clothes (that is all this child likes!!) books, movies and an alphabet book!

I had already given Todd his blackberry and was not expecting anything big from him (we normally don't exchange gifts) but he gave me a beautiful gift! He got the Willow Tree figurine "PROMISE". It is so nice that after 5 (almost) years of marriage he can still do sweet things like this that are unexpected! This is such a romantic statue!

Todd and I got up EARLY Saturday morning to have some us time! We went shopping, had breakfast, did some more shopping and then came home and installed our new closet organizer!

It was a great Christmas!
